For this Poinsettia I have combined both sizes, large andsmalland die cut them onto watercolor paper. For this technique I've used Ken Olivers Color Burst in Crimson for the leaves. It reminds me of the Jingle Bell Poinsettia. The greenery is a mix of the Berry Branchand a new Pine Sprig Set.

The leaves on the Poinsettia were colored with Zig water color brushes. Distress Inks were used on theBerry Branch and Foliage. I love the graceful lines on the Ornament Flourishdies. The set comes with three beautiful ornaments and two gorgeous flourishes.

The Wheel in Snow image is beautiful all on it's own. I love to color but sometimes you need something fast! How easy is that? Stamp, emboss, a few die cuts and you are good to go! I used just the "Greetings" from one of Serendipity's new dies, "Season's Greetings".
